Peace Prayers

[Guest guest]

Earth mother, star mother,

You who are called by

a thousand names.

May all remember

we are cells in your body

and dance together.

You are the grain

and the loaf

That sustains us each day,

And as you are patient

with our struggles to learn

So shall we be patient

with ourselves and each other.

We are radiant light

and sacred dark

--the balance—

You are the embrace that heartens

And the freedom beyond fear.

Within you we are born

we grow, live and die—

You bring us around the circle

to rebirth,

Within us you dance

Forever.

We look with uncertainty

Beyond the old choices or

Clear-cut answers

to a softer, more permeable aliveness

Which is every moment

At the brink of death;

For something new is being born in us

If we but let it.

We stand at a new doorway,

Awaiting that which comes…

Daring to be human creatures.

Vulnerable to the beauty of existence.

Learning to love.
